VEiN Coding Manual, release 1.0 12 July 2009 Values Embedded in Narrative (VEiN) Coding Manual Jeremy A. Frimer, Lawrence J. Walker, & William L. Dunlop University of British Columbia 1. Introduction. Values are situation-transcending motivational orientations that direct persons towards particular end states. Schwartz (1992) has developed a comprehensive framework, represented by a set of 10 universal values: power, achievement, hedonism, stimulation, self-direction, universalism, benevolence, conformity, tradition, and security. Importantly, Schwartz places the 10 values on a circumplex where any values opposite one another entail a negative conceptual and empirical association (e.g., security lies across from self-direction). This coding manual is adapted from Schwartz (1992, 1994; and Schwartz & Rubel, 2005). For more information about the VEiN methodology, see Frimer and Walker (2009). Self-Direction Self-Transcendence or Communion Universalism Openness to Change Stimulation Benevolence Hedonism Conformity Tradition Achievement Self-Enhancement or Agency Security Conservation Power 2. Unit of Analysis. Before coding for VEiNs, one must decide on a unit of analysis. A unit should ideally contain a single, coherent thought. (In future releases of the coding manual, instructions of how to code long, unbroken sections of narrative will be made available.) To date, VEiNs have been coded from the following types of text: a) Self-Understanding Interviews (Damon & Hart, 1988; Frimer & Walker, 2009): the unit of analysis should be the chunk, which includes both a stem (identifier) and the associated explication of why the entity is important to the individual. This unit of analysis seems to be sufficiently value-rich to allow for VEiN coding. b) Personal Strivings (Emmons, 1999): the unit of analysis should be the striving. Personal strivings tend to be shorter than self-understanding interview chunks, but are still sufficient for VEiN coding. -1- VEiN Coding Manual, release 1.0 12 July 2009 3. Coding from transcript—rather than an audio recording alone—is recommended. In cases of ambiguity regarding the content or implied meaning within a transcribed passage, consult the audio recording. 4. Reliability and Task Demands. VEiN coding is a demanding task and requires that the coder have “worldly” exposure in the sense of having an awareness of multiple worldviews and the full range of values. For a coder who is particularly sharp and sufficiently experienced, coding can be done simultaneously for all 10 VEiNs, so long as sufficient reliability is attained. Alternatively, code for one VEiN at a time. Top-notch undergraduate students have succeeded in attaining sufficient reliability coding one or two VEiNs at a time. The preferred reliability standards are Cohen’s κ ≥ .70; however, κ ≥ .60 is sufficient. 5. Coding is done independently for each VEiN. For example, a unit can be coded as having achievement (AC) present irrespective of how it has been coded for the other VEiNs. Thus, a unit could be coded for anywhere between 0 and 10 VEiNs. In the inaugural study that coded for VEiNs (Frimer & Walker, 2009), the average number of VEiNs coded in each chunk was 2.3 (SD = 1.5, range = 0–8). A second study that coded VEiNs of Personal Strivings had less VEiNs per unit of analysis (M = 1.7, SD = 1.2, range = 0–5). This discrepancy may have been a result of the different types of qualitative data analyzed in each study (self-understanding interviews vs. personal strivings). The important thing to note is that coding more than one VEiN per unit of analysis is the norm. 6. For a unit to qualify as a “hit” for a given VEiN, the rater must make the following judgments: a) Implied Meaning: The rater must determine the meaning of what the respondent intended to convey. This task is relatively straightforward when respondents are audible, speak in complete sentences, and express ideas clearly. The task becomes more challenging when respondents mumble, speak in choppy and incomplete phrases, and communicate in vague terms. b) Valence: The rater must determine the stance (in terms of valence) that the respondent holds towards a particular idea. Neutrally valenced statements are never coded, whereas positively valenced statements are almost always coded so long as they match a criterion in the coding manual. Negatively valenced statements are coded only when they match a negatively valenced criterion (e.g., avoiding stress is coded hedonism (HE, 16A). c) Object: In some rare instances, the rater must determine the object of a value statement. For example, respect aimed at the respondent is coded power (PO, 1G) whereas respect coming from the respondent is coded conformity, CO (69E). 7. Target of value. Statements are coded for VEiNs irrespective of to whom the value is attributed. That is, respondents need not indicate that this particular VEiN is relevant to the self. A value statement is equally codable if reported as being important to others. (For example, a participant saying “To my father, keeping the family close was really important” is coded security (SE, 78B) even though the valuer appears to be the father of the respondent. On rare occasions, this rule is qualified by Rule 6c above. 8. Each unit of analysis is coded for each VEiN, with one of two codes: 1 there is indication that this VEiN is important 0 there is no indication of the importance of this VEiN 9. Practice Coding. The recommended strategy for attaining reliability is as follows. (a) Have each coder independently attempt to code half (e.g., the first 200) of the example stems -2- VEiN Coding Manual, release 1.0 12 July 2009 provided (pp. 15-21 of this manual). (b) Compare codings, looking for common themes in disagreements. Also see the provided “answers” on pages 22-28 of this manual. Work out a common understanding of any ambiguities. (c) Code the remaining stems and assess reliability. Ensure that all Cohen’s κs are at or above 0.60. (d) Proceed with coding your own materials. 10. Analytical Strategy. Several metrics of VEiNs can be taken from an individual’s profile. First, one can assess the strength of each VEiN for that individual. This would be computed as either the tally of units coded for that VEiN, or as the proportion of units coded for that VEiN. Second, one can examine the combinations of VEiNs. For example, do some individuals tend to combine both VEiNs of SD and SE into the same unit? One strategy for assessing this question is to compute an “integration” score, which is the tally or proportion of units that have both of the VEiNs in question (e.g. SD & SE). Unmitigated varieties (e.g., SE without SD) can then be computed as a mutually exclusive category. A second way of assessing the combination of values is to use a conditional probability score. This would reflect the degree to which an individual combines his/her different themes relative to the amount of these themes that are present. The computation is the number of units that have both themes, divided by the number of units that have one or the other or both themes present. These are analytical strategies that have been used to date. Many more possibilities could be explored, depending on the question of interest. 11. Exclusions: The following items are not coded. Some of these items are coded in the Schwartz paradigm but they are removed here for conceptual clarity. Some others are excluded in the Schwartz paradigm as well. a) Happiness g) Mature love b) Being a good person h) Meaning in life c) Living a good life i) Detachment d) Self-respect j) Healthy e) Inner harmony k) Sense of fleeting belonging f) A spiritual life Reliability Summary Data from Self-Understanding Interview Chunk PO AC HE ST SD UN BE TR CO SE overall hit frequency 30.4% 32.3% 16.8% 21.9% 37.8% 9.5% 21.3% 13.7% 11.6% 31.4% agreement 90% 89% 91% 87% 83% 95% 93% 90% 92% 84% 89% Cohen's .77 .75 .67 .61 .63 .72 .79 .57 .60 .64 .70 Reliability Summary Data from more recent coding of Personal Strivings PO AC HE ST SD UN BE TR CO SE hit frequency 16.3% 23.3% 5.7% 9.1% 25.7% 10.7% 29.8% 11.0% 10.5% 20.5% agreement 91% 91% 97% 99% 88% 93% 93% 93% 97% 92% 93% Cohen's .68 .75 .74 .71 .71 .67 .82 .67 .73 .75 .72 -3- overall VEiN Coding Manual, release 1.0 12 July 2009 Note. the above differences in hit rates and reliability may be attributable to different samples and different materials (strivings vs. self-understanding) used in the respective studies.

Power, PO The central goal of power values is control or status over people and/or the attainment of material wealth. Social power values emphasize the attainment or preservation of a dominant position with (implicit or explicit) reference to a more general social system. 1 social power/authority 1A control over a social environment 1B dominance 1C competitive 1D getting ahead of others 1E status 1F social recognition entailing hierarchy 1G being respected (respect directed towards respondent) 1H prestige 1I looking good to [target unspecified] or to others 1J holding an executive position, 1K being an ambassador/role model 1L helping when help is explicitly unwanted 1M modifying other’s cognition/affect/behaviors 2 wealth 2A material possessions 2B money 2C financial security or avoiding financial debt The following are not coded as PO: 3 preserving my public image 3A saving “face” 4 looking good to myself 5 The following mentions are considered to be ambiguous and thus not coded unless qualified in terms of some value: 5A influential (with elaboration/colouring, could be coded UN, BE, or PO depending on the type of influence [e.g., helping, dominating, etc.]) 5B impactful 5C egotistical 5D help (without reference to interpersonal domain) 5E being a part of a club (without reference to executive position) 5F anything that implies self-enhancement but is lacking in social comparison 5G serving/pleasing others 5H considering other’s feelings -5- VEiN Coding Manual, release 1.0 12 July 2009 2. Achievement, AC The defining goal of this value type is personal success through demonstrating competence. This may manifest in the valuing of effort, a dispositional aptitude (skill), plans or commitments to achieve, or the valuing of the result (success). When coding personal strivings (fill-in-the-blank stems of “I typically try to______”), mentally replace the stem with “It’s good to_____” before coding. 6 goal/plan qualified in terms of a standard of excellence 6A working hard 6B perseverance 6C take on many commitments 6D successful 6E achieving 6F getting ahead—in life, or in an unspecified way 6G striving towards a goal 6H enhancing or improving 6I problem solving 6J advocating 6K working on a hobby/significant commitment 6L efficiency 7 achievement orientation 7A ambitious 7B aspiring 7C capable or competent 7D having a skill 7E effective 7F efficient 7G intelligent/smart The following are not coded AC: 8 thinking 9 self-respect 10 mere mention of a plan/goal 11 influential/impactful: mere mention of influence is insufficient for any coding. With elaboration/coloring, may be coded UN, BE, or PO depending on the type of influence (e.g., helping, dominating, etc.) 12 being good or maintaining the status quo 13 mere mention of a positive social role (e.g., mentor) 14 doing a hobby -6- VEiN Coding Manual, release 1.0 12 July 2009 3. Hedonism, HE Hedonism is derived from organismic needs and the pleasure associated with satisfying them. The motivational goal of this type can be defined as physiological pleasure, sensuous gratification, or the absence of pain. 15 pleasure 15A gratification of physical desires/biological inclinations 15B corporal needs—e.g., sex, sleep, food (eating, enjoying, nutrition) 15C having fun (in a pleasurable sense) 15D relaxation—e.g., breathing deeply, feel at ease 15E laughing 15F positive sensation 15G having a good time 15H physical attraction, looking good 15I creative arts—e.g., music, painting, dance 15J actively viewing nature, art, people, other physical entities 16 absence of pain and discomfort 16A reducing or avoiding stress and anxiety 16B avoiding going crazy 16C avoiding being depressed The following are not coded HE 17 psychological pleasure or avoidance of psychological pain 17A happiness 17B living a good life 17C psychological or social “uppers”—e.g., humor, jokes, cheer, being funny, smiling 17D avoiding interpersonal conflict 18 physical fitness 18A being trim, in good shape 18B restricting food/drink intake 19 enjoyment 19A “I like/love ____” 19B generic positive appraisals 19C admiring, appreciating 20 having fun (in a meaningful sense) 20A activities—e.g., walking, exercise -7- VEiN Coding Manual, release 1.0 12 July 2009 4. Stimulation, ST Stimulation values derive from the presumed organismic need for variety and stimulation in order to maintain an optimal level of activation. 21 being active 21A stimulating, new, or different experiences or people 21B stimulation-driven learning (e.g., learning new things) 21C having high energy 21D valuing being busy 22 excitement 22A fascination 22B inspiration 22C feeling energized 22D avoiding being bored or stagnating 23 variety 23A challenge in life 23B novelty 23C desire to be unconventional or unique 23D exposure to many different things 24 adventure 24A spontaneity 24B taking risk 24C traveling and excursions 24D daring The following are not coded ST 25 learning (in a passive operant-conditioning sense) 26 nervous habits 27 sports, hobbies, or creative arts (unless otherwise qualified with a value) 28 change, growth, development 29 being open-minded 30 exposure to nature -8- VEiN Coding Manual, release 1.0 12 July 2009 5. Self-direction, SD The defining goal of this value type is independent thought and action—choosing, creating, exploring. To code a statement as a hit for SD, there should be clear implication of an active verb referencing choosing or exploring. The statement should receive deliberate treatment rather than simply be mentioned in passing. Code the declarations of the respondent, not the processes. For example, if a respondent actively engages the process of figuring something out, do not code 32G. Rather, code 32G only if the respondent speaks of figuring something out. 31 independence 31A freedom of action, thought, or expression 31B self-sufficient 31C taking care of oneself (as opposed to being dependant on someone else) 31D avoiding debt (i.e., financial independence) 31E being alone (freedom from others) 31F desire to have a plan 32 agency 32A explicitly choosing 32B making a decision 32C selecting 32D being proactive (taking initiative)—should be explicit 32E actively forming an identity 32F identifying an important opportunity 32G figuring things out 32H self-control 32I an explicit statement of improvement (provided it is self-motivated) 32J second-order desires (desires about one’s own desires) 32K setting a goal 32L counteracting a natural inclination (e.g., refraining from judging others) 33 curiosity 33A exploring/seeking 33B critical thinking 33C tolerance of ambiguity (explicit) 33D desire to understand/learn 34 creativity 34A imagination 34B innovation The following are not coded SD 35 the mere mention of personal growth (however, elaboration may be coded in terms of the value explicated) 36 the mere mention of a choice or decision (the choice/decision must be deliberate and significant to the individual to qualify as 32). 37 self-confidence 38 being open-minded or respectful (without further elaboration) 39 when an individual would like to “be” something (e.g., nice) in a stated personal striving -9- VEiN Coding Manual, release 1.0 12 July 2009 6. Universalism, UN The motivational goal of universalism is understanding, appreciation, tolerance, and protection for the welfare of people beyond the primary reference group (e.g., all people, the community, disadvantaged people) and for nature. UN and BE entail similar (helping, caring, etc.) action on different objects (unfamiliar for UN, familiar for BE). For ambiguous objects, code BE and not UN. 40 universal concern (for humanity) 40A social justice/equality 40B equal opportunity for all 40C correcting injustice 40D care for the less fortunate, hurting 40E a world at peace, free of war and conflict 40F generalized tolerance (of different beliefs or people) 40G positive contribution to society 40H concern for the welfare of people beyond the primary reference group 40I seeing things from different perspectives (generalized) 41 protecting the environment 41A preserving nature 41B challenging ecologically destructive practices The following are not coded UN: 42 inner harmony 42A being at peace with oneself 43 unity with nature 43A fitting into nature 43B living in harmony with one’s environment 43C appreciating the beauty of nature 44 wisdom 44A a mature understanding of life 44B broad-minded 45 positive contribution (to something smaller than humanity or society) 46 behaviors or attention referenced to “others” (without further generalization) - 10 - VEiN Coding Manual, release 1.0 12 July 2009 7. Benevolence, BE Benevolence focuses on concern for the welfare of others in everyday interaction. The motivational goal of benevolence values is preservation and enhancement of the welfare of people with whom one is in frequent personal contact. A distinction is made between “being” and “doing” with respect to familiar people. In general, if the emphasis is on being (a good friend, for example), do not code BE. However, if the emphasis is on doing something friendly (empathizing or helping for example), then do code BE. This distinction does not apply when coding personal strivings (e.g., “I typically try to …”) given the active nature of these statements. 47 interpersonal honesty 47A genuine 47B sincere 48 helpful 48A working for the welfare of others 48B generous 48C supportive 48D empathic 48E teaching entailing positive impact 48F doing something friendly 48G kind 48H making sacrifices for close others 48I respectful 49 responsible to others 49A keeping promises 49B dependable 49C reliable 49D faithful to my friends/group 49E loyal 49F dedicating attention to a close friend/family member 50 forgiving 50A willing to pardon others The following are not coded BE: 51 a spiritual life 51A emphasis on spiritual not material matters 52 meaning in life 52A a purpose in life 53 friendliness (by itself; not sufficient for BE … needs further elaboration) 54 acting in a fair manner 55 pleasing (without reference to specific others) 56 meeting obligations (in the absence of a stated emotive effect in others) 57 engagement in a non-charitable organization 58 understand others (by itself; not sufficient for BE … needs further elaboration) - 11 - VEiN Coding Manual, release 1.0 12 July 2009 8. Tradition, TR Individuals everywhere develop symbols and practices that represent their experience and fate. Traditional modes of behavior become symbols of solidarity, expressions of unique worth, and presumed guarantors of survival. The motivational goals of tradition values are respect, commitment, acceptance of the customs and ideas that one’s culture or religion imposes on the individual, and/or deference to a personal or group history. 59 tradition 59A time-honored customs 59B observing traditional customs or holidays 59C internalization of the customs and ideas that a tradition provides 59D (traditional) religious faith and belief 59E superstition 59F maintaining the status quo 59G valuing well-established personal traditions 59H history and memories 60 moderate 60A balance (not in the vestibular sense) 60B humble 60C modest 60D self-effacing 60E not sticking out 61 accepting my portion in life 61A submitting to life’s circumstances 61B fate The following are not coded as TR: 62 detachment 62A disengagement from worldly concerns 63 being influenced by experience/circumstance 64 devout 65 mere statement of a personal habit 66 honoring family members 67 personal (i.e., non-organizational) spirituality - 12 - VEiN Coding Manual, release 1.0 12 July 2009 9. Conformity, CO The defining goal of this value type is restraint of actions, inclinations, and impulses likely to upset or harm others and violate social expectations or norms. Conformity values emphasize selfrestraint in a social context (e.g., everyday interaction). 68 deference 68A dutiful/following rules 68B doing as one is told 68C honoring others 68D obedience (interpersonal or religious/spiritual in nature) 68E making parents proud 68F conformity and being normal 68G following family norms and values 68H meeting expectations 69 politeness 69A courtesy or good manners 69B being civilized 69C avoiding confrontation/conflict 69D avoiding offending others or violating social expectations 69E being respectful 69F admiring someone 69G promoting harmony/getting along with others 69H pleasing (with reference to specific target) The following are not coded as CO: 70 conforming to the respondent 71 generalized tolerance (i.e., acceptance of others, being non-judgmental) 72 helping/assisting others 73 making others happy 74 maintaining contact/keeping in touch with others 75 serving others voluntarily 76 self-discipline 76A self-restraint 76B resistance to temptation - 13 - VEiN Coding Manual, release 1.0 12 July 2009 10. Security, SE The motivational goal of this value type is safety, harmony, and stability of society, of relationships, and of self. 77 security of the self 77A clean/ neat/ tidy/ organized 77B financial security/improving financial situation 77C intolerance of ambiguity (explicit) 77D feeling fearful, insecure, or nervous 77E feeling needy 77F psychological security (including avoiding regrets) 77G feeling that others care about me 77H low self-value 77I making life easier 77J physical safety 78 security in relationships 78A safety for loved ones 78B enduring, close relationship (i.e., family and friends unless otherwise qualified) 78C feeling love or closeness (toward a specific person) 78D social reciprocity (concrete, rather than ideal) 78E need to belong/social acceptance 79 stability of society 79A social order 79B national security 79C protection of my nation 79D good functioning by a collective of people The following are not coded SE: 80 short-term or unspecified relationship 81 health 82 maintaining a positive attitude/avoiding negative thoughts and feelings 83 avoiding confrontations and conflicts (without reference to a close other) 84 earning/garnering respect 85 mention of a religious or spiritual entity (without reference to the relationship with said entity) 86 conforming (without reference to a close other) -
